The Microplane Gourmet Zester is a practical kitchen tool for creating fine, even shavings with minimal effort. Made from surgical-grade steel, its precisely etched surface cuts cleanly through food instead of crushing or tearing it.
It works well with citrus fruits, hard cheese, chocolate, garlic, ginger and other foods that need a delicate finish. The fine shavings can add fresh flavour and texture to everyday meals, baked dishes, sauces and desserts.
Microplane introduced its innovative etched-blade technology in 1990, and the design has since become a popular choice for home cooks and professional chefs. The sharp surface allows you to work with less pressure while producing consistent results.
With its durable construction and versatile design, this kitchen essential is useful for both everyday preparation and finishing dishes. Whether you are adding lemon zest to a dessert or finely shaving cheese over a meal, it helps make detailed food preparation simple and efficient.
